Features: This book systematically introduces the author's recent research achievements in the field of generalized reliability theory for engineering structures—fuzzy random reliability theory. Chapter 1 introduces various uncertainties in engineering structural design, explores the intrinsic relationships among these uncertainties, discusses the classification of uncertainty information, and proposes several viewpoints on the processing of uncertainty information. Chapter 2 analyzes the reliability of engineering structures based on the current random reliability of components, presents several common methods for determining the reliability of engineering structures, introduces the concepts of dynamic reliability and maintenance reliability of engineering structures, and provides evaluation methods for the dynamic reliability of newly constructed and unmaintained structures, laying the foundation for establishing a maintenance decision theory for engineering structures controlled by reliability as a parameter. Chapter 3 discusses the generalized reliability theory based on satisfaction degree and investigates the analysis of fuzzy random reliability for seismic structures. Chapter 4 studies the generalized reliability theory based on fuzzy random variables, taking fuzzy random variables as the fundamental variables, and presents practical calculation methods for fuzzy random reliability, as well as the generalized reliability theory of structures based on fuzzy measures. This book is suitable for scientists and engineers engaged in mechanics and engineering technology, as well as teachers, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities.
